ground can be worked (about April 1) with successive sowings up to the end

really rich soil, well prepared and liberally manured. 
Planting—Sow the seed thinly in rows; cover with not over 14 inch of 
soil and allow |! feet between rows. When the plants are large enough to 
handle, thin out, leaving about one inch between plants.
